Libor Kozak looked horrible in Aston Villa's U21s game.

Kozak didn't get a lot of service but he looked far from in-form and doesn't seem likely to replace any of Aston Villa's forwards in the near future. He isn't worth holding onto in any leagues at the moment and should be left on the waiver wire. Tue, Sep 29, 2015 09:16:00 AM

Kozak started the match and played very well, leading the line for Aston Villa alongside Gabby Agbonlahor in a 4-4-2. Scott Sinclair and Leandro Bacuna were on the wings, supporting the attack. Kozak had a number of chances to score and netted on two of them before being substituted for newcomer Jordan Ayew. With Villa set to sign Emmanuel Adebayor, that seems to leave them with four strikers in what will presumably be a 4-4-2 formation this season. The unknown leaves all of them with a decreased fantasy value at the moment. Tue, Jul 28, 2015 05:08:00 PM

Libor Kozak is determined to come back stronger than ever after recovering from a broken leg.

Kozak suffered the broken leg from a training ground tackle on January 1st, 2014 and was forced to miss seven months after undergoing surgery. He then had a number of set-backs and had to undergo a follow-up procedure, but is now returning to full speed. He is set to participate in pre-season and wants to be full speed by week one, but it's unlikely that he'll be able to go 90 minutes by that time. Kozak will have the chance to lead Aston Villa in attack with only Jordan Ayew there to give him any sort of competition for the starting striker position, but the two may end up splitting time. A player without a guaranteed role that is coming off a serious injury should not be on your fantasy radar. Fri, Jul 24, 2015 08:09:00 PM

Aston Villa only scored 31 goals this season, which was their lowest ever in a league season, according to SkySports and Opta.

Aston Villa missed their two main strikers - Christian Benteke and Libor Kozak, for big parts of the season and that surely has to do with their low goal total. Benteke caught fire towards the end and was fantastic, but rumor has it he could leave Villa this summer. Kozak, on the other hand, didn't play a single match this year and has suffered numerous set-backs while recovering from injury. If Benteke leaves, there will be little attacking fantasy value here next season, but Kozak could provide some value in very late rounds of fantasy drafts. Wed, May 27, 2015 12:41:00 PM
